1 To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. 2 Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. 4 Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. A Davidic Song of Ascents
